17. Netherlands |
To the limits of idiocy "Life
is like a refridgerator', my friend sung some time ago. And it was followed
by 'l take the restaurant, you take the donuts'. It seems not to matter
that much, but the more it does. To write a country report about the country
where we have our home basis is quite hard. Specially in these time of
life. It's 2003 and 2004. Holland was in the news quite often. And the
news is usualy only bad news. When the politician got killed 2 years ago,
many people thought things would change. And they did. But not in the
way pople expected. There was a burocrcy in between and the ultimate urge
to talk about it. Meanwhile security and safety, in all forms and matters
became priority. Besides earning money of course.

Name
: Stadhuisplein Eindhoven While many of us do good jobs for little money, mostly in non commercial sector, all of us will be fired in order to save money. After enough political blah blah, the costs to fire us, destroy organizations we work for and find us a new job (all state organized and privatized), will be similar. The jobs will be gone. 600 in our town, more then 35.000 nationwide. How can we be a good example and inspiration for other countries, if we destroy the social policies we have build up? |

Name
: the ghost of 2B The
ghost of 2B is hanging around every first of May, in order to remeber
the good things of the past. Nostalgy is not only a desire, but
also aa modern form of respect the the past. It is an element
of our social study. How does past relate to future. In other
words, how does relate now to our desires and whishes? |

Name
: Grand Openings in Randstad After we have traveled quite some, the people in our homecity Endhoven were not aware of what was going on. So we made a local selection and changed that situation. Meanwhile the center of the country was not too much intereted anymore; why look at some provincial artists? So we made a national selection in Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Hague. see for yourself Link: World in Randstad |
